A beautiful book to grace the coffee table, it is filled with stunning quotations and breathtaking illustrations for any mother to relish and enjoy. I found it a satisfying feast to partake of, and would highly recommend it.

Don't ever forget, even for one single minute, you didn't grow under my heart . . . But in it." -Anon
